Day 3 w/ Donna Grant @ the 9 DAYS OF DARKNESS event

Day 3 in the 9 DAYS OF DARKNESS Event!

Please welcome PNR Author Donna Grant

Review of Forbidden Highlander
Releases on Tuesday, May 25th
5 STARS

Oh where to begin on this one! First let me say that I loved this book. Donna’s writing is easygoing and magical, it guides you seamlessly through the story of which you hope will never end.

In Forbidden Highlander we are focused on one particular MacLeod brother, Fallon, the eldest. Since the current capture of his brother Quinn, the focus on the future of his clan and their lands has reached great importance, enough to have him leave the sanctuary of the MacLeod castle for the first time in centuries. In efforts to re-claim his family’s lands, he travels to see the king and seek his aid on the matter. While at court he tries to distance himself from the crowds and gossip that runs rampant there, only having his single task to focus on; that is until he sees a vision of all his desires from across the room of the great hall.

Larena Monroe is at court and has been for some time now. She is by everyone’s accounts only a lady, and there to rub elbows with those of the court. However, this guise she's created is merely to seek out those who have power and most importantly, information. She is not what she seems. Larena is wanted by all available men at court, and uses her beauty to get answers but nothing more then that. She has no interest in these men that fawn upon her. Larena is there to find out information to save her, and protect the secrets she alone has been destined to guard. Weary of the formality of court, she tires of this charade and decides it might be time to leave… until she see’s him. Dark and powerful, skin of sun kissed gold, he towers above all the men around him. He has a commanding presence and is dressed in the ways of a Highlander. This stranger is raw, sexual and lithe as he stalks the outer edges of the great hall; and he is staring right at her.

You won't be able to stop reading this tale of adventure, action and thick sexual tension.
Fallon and Larena's paths will cross while they embark on a journey to save lives, save their loved ones and perhaps save someones soul. The rippling energy in the air, made of desire and aprehension can be literally cut with a knife when they are near. Neither of them is sure, affraid that they can give the most important thing of all, trust.

I’d like to welcome Donna to DemonLover’s books and more for the 9 Days of Darkness event.
She will be stopping in today from 10-4pm PST to chat and comment with you all.

Hi Donna! Did you do any travelling for research for your books??

Donna Grant said...

Hi, Barb!

No, no traveling yet. I do most of my research online and through my many, many research books. :)

I'm not entering the contest but I do have to say that when I became a fan of Kelly DemonLover Oakes on Facebook we chatted a little bit and she recommended Dangerous Highlander to me which I just finished reading. I have to say WOW!! Very, very good. I can't wait to read. Forbidden Highlander. The story line is awesome and the characters are great. I will definitely sign up for Donna's Newsletter. I totally recommend this book to anybody who has not read it yet.

Hi, Donna!

I loved Dangerous Highlander. It was a combination of my two favorite genres - paranormal and historical. (And Scottish too!!) I can't wait to read Fallon's story.

I got my first eReader last week, so I treated myself to several eBooks, including your DRUIDS GLEN and SISTERS OF MAGIC trilogies. I've wanted to read them for so long, but no eReader until now!

Congrats on your new release!

I'd love a chance to win a signed copy of Dangerous Highlander:

Donna Grant said...

Hi, Diana!

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed Dangerous Highlander. And wow! I hope you enjoy the Druids Glen and Sisters of Magic books. :)

Donna Grant said...

Hi, Kate!

Great question. I don't know what appeals to me about Highlanders and Scotland. I just know that I've always been fascinated with them.

It takes a real man to be able to wear a kilt. And those accents...:swoon!: I just love them!

Donna Grant said...

Hi, Jeanette!

What is my favorite thing about Highlanders? Where do I begin? :D

There's a wildness about the people and the land of Scotland. There is so much legend and lore as well as blood and death. The simple fact that the land is so steeped in history - as well as magic - appeals to me as nothing else does.

I love strong men, men who will do anything for their families and their country. The Scots have proven that time and again throughout history. Why not write about them (in my own way)? :)

Stella (Ex Libris) said...

Hi Donna! :-)

I have discovered you a week ago thanks to the promotion of your new release and I'm so glad I did as I LOVE Scottish historical romances! Would love to discover your novels!

Donna, have you been to Scotland? (I'm pretty sure you have been, you must have been inspired by what you saw there!) And exactly, what did you love the most there? I visited Scotland for the first time last summer and fell in love! I'm sure I will return there many times, it is a truly magic place! Or if you haven't been to Scotland, what do you plan on visiting once you go there? (If you need some recommendations, I can sure tell you about quite a few must-see beautiful places!)
